"The missing pages have been destroyed. I only glanced at them briefly at the time. I don't understand pharmacology, so I don't remember the contents at all..."

Liu Sufang lowered her head to hide the barely perceptible panic in her eyes.

Shen Wanwan's eyes darkened, "Do you really think I won't kill you?"

She slowly raised her hand, the meaning was self-evident. If Liu Sufang had any hesitation, she would attack Xiao Zhu again without hesitation.

"Every word I say is true, there is no falsehood, if there is even a single word that is false,"

Liu Sufang looked up at Shen Wanwan and held up three fingers. "If you tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"

Shen Wanwan stared at Liu Sufang's eyes, her whole body emitting a murderous aura.

Liu Sufang was frightened by the stare, but she didn't dare to lower her head, for she was worried that the other party would really kill Xiao Zhu if he was dissatisfied.

She was really scared.

How could such a big change happen to the person she raised as a docile and timid kitten?

She looks like this, how can she be any less obedient and well-behaved than before?

Is it because she has the blood of the Ye family? If I had known this, I shouldn't have left her...

"It is said that my maternal grandfather has a secret soul-stealing technique. If you dare to lie,"

Shen Wanwan glanced at Liu Sufang and said the rest lightly, "Do you think, if I ask them, will they agree to use it on you?"

Liu Sufang's body was shaking like a sieve. "Every word I just said is true. There is absolutely no lie."

Shen Wanwan didn't respond immediately.

Only after seeing large beads of sweat dripping from Liu Sufang's forehead did she slowly speak: "Then tell me, who made you do this?"

She believed that what Liu Sufang had just said was not a lie, but it also confirmed that there was someone behind her.

Otherwise, why would she tear a page from her medical book for no reason?

"No, no one ordered me to do it. I did it myself..."

Before the other party could finish his words, Shen Wanwan asked, "Do you dare to swear?"

Liu Sufang hesitated, "I..."

Shen Wanwan took in her expression.

People who come out of Jingsi Island are different. They know that vows cannot be made casually.

"My patience is limited. I'll count to three. If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being cruel. Three..."

Before she finished the word "three", Liu Sufang hurriedly said, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

Her body was shaking more and more violently, and she gritted her teeth and said, "It's Dong...!"

He had just said the word "Dong" when he suddenly touched his chest, and with a "puff" sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground.

The sudden change plunged the room into an eerie silence.

After a while.

"Uh uh uh...ah uh uh..."

"Uh uh uh...ah uh uh..."

Xiao Zhu rushed to Liu Sufang and hugged her tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face and strange noises coming out of her mouth.

Shen Wanwan had never expected such a situation to happen suddenly, and she was so shocked that she was speechless for a long time.

Only when Xiao Zhu's strange voice sounded did Shen Wanwan come back to her senses from her state of shock.

She quickly took a step forward, squatted down, and extended her hand towards Liu Sufang.

Xiao Zhu glared at her, holding Liu Sufang's body and moving backwards, "Uh uh uh...ah uh uh..."

Shen Wanwan frowned, "If you don't want to die, put him down immediately!"

Xiao Zhu shuddered, immediately put Liu Sufang down, and then quickly stepped aside.

Shen Wanwan's hand reached under Liu Sufang's nose, and in just a moment her guess was confirmed.

No more energy!

She moved her hand down and placed three fingers on Liu Sufang's wrist pulse, and her heart pulse was completely cut off!

Liu Sufang is dead.

But why is this?

She didn't do anything, so why did she die?

Shen Wanwan's emotions were complicated.

She should clearly hate this person whom she once called grandma.

But the two of them had been together for fifteen years, and all their past events had actually happened.

Bits and pieces of information flashed through her mind one by one...

Shen Wanwan came to the helm tower again.

Ye Tianlan saw her come back, her face even worse than when she left. He was very worried, "Wan'er, did something happen?"

"Liu Sufang is dead."

Someone died?

Ye Tianlan froze slightly, feeling confused, but he just looked at Shen Wanwan silently.

"I originally wanted to ask her to see if I could find the whereabouts of the antidote formula for the Ice Soul Ghost, but I didn't expect..."

Then, Shen Wanwan recounted in detail what happened in the utility room.

When Ye Tianlan heard the cause of Liu Sufang's death, he blurted out: "It was the Heart-Breaking Curse!"

"What is the Heart-Breaking Spell?"

"It's a spell that forces a person to keep a secret. If the person under the spell harbors any thoughts of betrayal, their heart will explode and they will die."

Ye Tianlan's face was solemn. "Once this spell is cast, it cannot be broken. It is also one of the secret techniques of my maternal family that is not passed down to outsiders. However, because it is difficult to learn and requires extremely high cultivation, few people can truly master it."

"Grandma's house?"

Shen Wanwan's expression also became solemn.

Her brother once told her that the Twin Lotus Jade Pendant came from her maternal grandmother's family. At her hundred-day banquet, her grandmother personally handed the jade pendant to her.

Ye Tianlan's eyes flickered slightly, "Wan'er, the matter of breaking the heart curse ends here. You don't need to worry about it anymore. Don't mention it again after you arrive at Jingsi Island."

As for what was hidden behind it, he could just investigate it privately and not involve her who had just returned.

Although Shen Wanwan was confused, she immediately nodded in agreement.

At present, all her knowledge about Jingsi Island came from Ye Tianlan, so she naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to want to cause trouble before even getting to the island.

The Ice Soul Ghost's poison is too special. Without an antidote formula, it is difficult for her to come up with an antidote.

I suddenly went to Liu Sufang to ask, just to give it a try.

Since there was no answer, she could only spend more time studying the poison recipe and find the answer from it.

But in this way, she no longer had any reason to persuade Gu Beichen to stay.

……

Five days later.

As the evening clouds fell, Shen Wanwan and her group arrived at Yong'an City, the capital of Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou is located in the southernmost part of Nanyao State, near the sea.

As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Most of the people here make a living from fishing.

The salty and fishy smell was carried by the sea breeze, floating over the coastal city wall and above Yong'an City.

In the streets and alleys, the cries of hawkers can be heard one after another.

"Monkey, monkey!"

Someone tugged at the sleeve of the man next to him, "Look over there..."

"Mine, I'm busy..."

The man looked up and saw a group of people walking slowly along the street. His eyes widened instantly. "Oh my God, is that a person?"

"Have you ever seen anyone so good-looking?"

"never seen it."

"I haven't seen it either."

"Where do you think they came from?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"I guess they must be nobles coming from Shangjing City."

"The others are fine, but look at that man in white, he's clearly…"

……

As soon as Shen Wanwan and her group stepped into Yong'an City, they immediately attracted the attention of passers-by and vendors along the way.

Unlike the prosperous and wealthy Shangjing City, Yong'an City is secluded and the people are more simple and honest.

They had never seen such a pleasing person!

Not one, but a group!

Even the guards around him and the girls dressed as maids were particularly eye-catching.

Especially the man in white in the middle, with his extraordinary temperament and the figure of a banished immortal, he is clearly an immortal from heaven, how could he be an ordinary person on earth?

It has a noble air, like a walking bright moon, spreading its light wherever it passes.

It is extremely noble, yet gentle yet with a subtle sense of distance.

Nangong Hao glanced at Zhang Bin and said, "Go and get some information."

"Yes!"

Zhang Bin responded and turned to leave.

Shen Wanwan looked at Feiyue and said, "You go too. We'll meet up at the Sihai Inn in front later."

Yong'an City was very unfamiliar to them. As they had just arrived, their first priority was to get information.

When they set out from Shangjing City, their destination was Jingsi Island, so they brought almost no manpower and had never thought of stopping in Jiangzhou. Now that the itinerary has changed, it seems that there is no one available.

Jiangzhou is the fief of Princess Pingyang, and the princess's mansion is in Yong'an City. Logically, they should go to the princess's mansion to seek help.

But Princess Pingyang has passed away. Although Xie Ziyi inherited the fiefdom, she is far away in Shangjing City.

If they went to the princess's mansion at this time, they might not get any useful information, but might get into trouble instead.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to find an inn to settle down first, and then carefully inquire about the news about Gu Beichen and Xie Moxuan.
